that. Report as many sites and as much content as you find, whenever and wherever.

Why to Report a URL?

Online extremism contributes to terrorism!

As a part of their anti-terrorism strategy, Military, Civil Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies employ means and resources to combat terrorist organizations and terrorists. The Security and Law Enforcement Agencies in Pakistan have already made huge sacrifices in their fight against terrorism. It is now time for combining our energies to help prevent terrorists from being created.
The focus of any counter-extremism strategy (including countering online extremism) is to prevent terrorism by stopping people and especially youth from getting inspired or falling into the trap and propaganda of extremists. Countering on-line extremism can also prevent terrorism by disrupting the terrorists’ use of internet and social media.

A National Cause- Together We Will Do It!

Did you know that there are so many Laws in Pakistan which make images and content promoting extremism in any form, a crime!

So many laws! But there was no mechanism for citizens to report extremist online-content !

Today, the penetration of internet and reach of social media stands at more
than 35 million users in the country. With more than 20% internet growth
registered per year, it is about time that we, the citizens of Pakistan, should
join our voices and silent contributions to counter extremism on the internet
and social media platforms. Sursafe® intends to achieve its vision and mission
by building a platform for countrywide internet-community to report extremist
content, whenever they see it.
Surfsafe® also intends to develop and disseminate a national counter-narrative to extremism and project
moderate values through partnering with academia, intelligentsia, cyber-activists
and consultants thereby reclaiming space in cyber-sphere vis-à-vis extremist
propaganda.
